Introducing the “We Believe” Campaign
OIC of America is launching its first national capital campaign: “We Believe.” More than a fundraiser, it is an urgent investment in human potential and providing universal economic dignity. As the country faces ongoing skilled labor shortages and rising unemployment, OIC of America is committed to training 100,000 people by 2030 in living wage careers to help ease the persistent economic pressures on working families.
Call to Action: Help Scale Our National Impact
We Believe People Are the Best Investment.
Training 1,600 people for high-demand careers starting at $46,000/year injects over $73 million into a local economy. We are calling on our community of supporters to help us scale and expand the life-changing work happening across our network of affiliates and partners. With your help, we can dramatically change the economies of cities across the nation.
Your end-of-year donation directly fuels our signature programs:
- The Sullivan Training Network: A cutting-edge initiative that partners with industry leaders in high-demand fields like construction, IT and manufacturing to match their regional employment demands with workers who receive our no-cost, accredited career training.
- STEM: We are inspiring and connecting youth to high-demand, high-wage careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Your donation helps fund learning labs, mentorship and work experiences for youth in underserved communities, ensuring they build necessary skills and networks to future-proof the workforce.
Our Vision for 2030
We have an ambitious goal: to train 100,000 people by 2030. We’re leveraging over 60 years of proven success in training over 2 million people nationwide to reimagine the future of America’s workforce amid ongoing shortages in skilled labor and trades.
Join the Movement
With the collective support of donors and partners, we believe a dramatic transformation in the economic landscape of cities across the nation is possible. Together, we can create a more economically sound future for those who need it most. That’s something we all can believe in.
